Will any 5V 1.5A USB AC adapter work, or is there something special about this one?

Yes and No... The PS-P515U is designed to use the USB connector to connect to the TASCAM recorder to provide DC power to the recorder. If you are an electronics savvy person, you can purchase any power unit that provides the same output voltage (5 Volts DC @ 1.5 amp) or design your own, and wire it to a mini-connector. If you're NOT electronics savvy, then don't mess around and purchase the unit to avoid destroying your TASCAM recorder because of incompatible voltages and/or connections. While you may fell the unit is expensive, consider the expense if you use some other "compatible" power unit that fries your Tascam. In short, don't be Penny-wise and Pound-foolish.

I dont know. My guess is if connections match and the voltage is right, it should work.

The USB port outputs 5V DC, the Amps it can provide is 1A making the Wattage 5.

I'm not sure, as I only have a USB 2.0 hub... I dont see why not. Still 5 volts I believe and receiving I.R. Is probably low voltage. G.L.

Hi... Check out this link. Your thoughts above would seem to be correct - "Micro USB input for additional power to NON Surface devices.". I haven't tested this myself though http://www.juicedsystems.com/5-in-1-surface-adapter

It works with any USB adapter. But mine stopped working about 3 months in. Don't know what happened. Wouldn't reconend buying one

You shouldn't need an AC adapter, it has a cord that draws power from the USB port included. If you want to power it with a separate power source, you would need to use one that has a USB plug on it. USB is a standard 5 volt DC, although the milliamps will vary.

your original charger works. the ac adapter connects to your computer, not the battery pack, unless you have some kind of external charge dock for the battery that i've not heard of..

I am not sure what is meant by 5v, but I installed it into an ancient Pentium board that is running Windows XP that had USB 1.1 ports with no problems because I needed two USB 2.0 ports.

I believe mine came with an AC Adaptor. I don't USB would be enough even if it was an option.

My adapter has the following text on its sticker:AC/DC Adapter Model KYT05150AInput 100-240V AC 50/60Hz 0.3A MaxOutput DC 5V/1.5AIt looks to me from that information that either voltage should work.

Normally you can use these USB ports for charging , it works , but not the same as a standalone device charger . A single USB port's power specifications is 5V 0.5A when a standalone device charger is 5V 1A , it will be very slow when you using a USB port for charging and that's why we say "USB hub only, not a standalone device charger"

Yes, though these adapters are low quality and don't last long. I've had better results buying cheap usb to 2.5mm cords that plug into a 5v ac to USB wall wart. Then if the plug end breaks I just replace the usb cord and can keep using the same ac adapter over and over.

This adapter uses USB 2.0 it can only draw 5 volts and no more, the answer use standard single USB cable, unless you have a future use for this Y cable, you may use the Y cable but don't connect the red one, it may shorten the life of your USB adapter. The Y cable is intended for devices which needs 9V like a CD drive, or external hard disk drives, etc...

I have charged a device that requires 2.1A, and several that required 1A. They all charged fine. Are you charging with USB 2, USB 3, or using an AC adapter?

Do not know about your item. If you will look on the item or on your paper work, for the power required. Voltage and current.- example 5v with a straight line with dots under it (5volts direct current) 2A (2 amps)Look for a charger that matches. If the size of the plug, on the charger, that goes into your item matches the connector in your item, the charger probably will work. Good Luck.
